We refer parents to licensed programs; however, some preschools and school age programs are exempt from licensing. We rely on the child care providers to provide us with up to date information. As such, we do not guarantee the accuracy of the provider information in our files. We do not license, endorse, or recommend any particular provider, nor do we make any judgment about the quality of care given by any provider. Consequently, we urge you, as the parent, to interview a provider and check the provider's references carefully before leaving a child in that provider’s care..
